Aspect ratio (Q2357)

Hi,

I understand that induced drag decreases with high aspect ratio wings due to reduced wingtip vortices.

But why is it that critical alpha occur at a lower value for aircraft with high aspect ratio wings?

I couldn't really find an explanation in the notes...

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
